Let me start by saying that I am a huge twilight fan, big surprise. Twilight came into my life in a funny way, through facebook and my younger preteen cousin. Back in the day, lol, there was an app on facebook called flair I believe. As in buttons you post on your profile or silly waiters wear a la Jennifer Aniston in Office Space (if you do not know what I am talking about go rent it now-CLASSIC). Well through this flair app you would search or make your own flair with pics, funny quotes and thoughts and Edward Cullen fans were everywhere and I mean every other button was OMG Edward Cullen I love you. I keep up with popular culture and news so I was confused so I went to my trusty friend google and searched and surprise surprise the cult following was revealed. Later that week my cousin asked me if I had read twilight and no I had not. She wanted me to drive her to the movies as her mother would not. So there goes me watching twilight, liking it and reading swallowing every book in the series.
Now back to the last installment- part 1. I did attend the midnight showing (crazy I know). This part of the movie was uneventful to say the least well compared to the second half which I cannot wait to see (a year seems too long to wait). Well Jacob was upset like always that Bella was being stubborn like always and Edward he was happy but cautious as always. The wedding scene was beautiful, really like a midsummer night's dream. I really loved Bella's gown, although I hated her makeup and hair they could have done a better job. What I did love about the movie was the fact that they stuck to the book pretty much even for the gory and pretty nasty birthing scene. I have to say Bella looked like a holocaust survivor, great effect but heartbreaking at the same time. The saddest part in the movie I have to say was when Edward called Bella baby because he had never done so before. Even though I knew that Bella would not die Edward's cry to her is really heartbreaking. I enjoyed the movie like the fan that I am and cannot wait for the second part. Which will make me sad that it will be the end but I cannot wait to see Bella as a kick ass vampire. I think that this is a great story in general and one of vampire and romance. It this is not your cup of tea and would enjoy vampire books check out Anne Rice and her Vampire Chronicles because while I love the twilight books and the story nothing can hold a candle to Anne Rice as a vampire writer. Check out Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire, Anne wrote the screenplay as well so it is magnificent.
